  • Rapid turnaround
  • Long read lengths (typically greater than 40 tags per reads)
  • Stringent control of sample and data integrity
  • Extensive SAGE sequencing experience

Proven SAGE Experience:
Agencourt performs DNA sequencing for some of the world's preeminent SAGE research groups and projects, including:
John's Hopkins Kemmel Cancer Center - developers of SAGE technology
Genzyme Molecular Oncology - holders of exclusive rights to SAGE technology
NCI's Cancer Genome Anatomy Project (CGAP) - Agencourt completed gene expression profiles for more than 20 distinct tumor types


Agencourt and Invitrogen have partnered to make SAGE a more accessible technology. Customers who use Invitrogen's I-SAGE™ library construction kit will receive special pricing for Agencourt's SAGE sequencing services.
